Concurrent Dual Band Wireless Acce ess Point - the best Concurrent Dual Band Wireless Acceess Point for your wireless network. As the central component of your wireless network, the W7x can connect multiple compu uters, allowing you to share files, audio, video, printers, a high-speed Internet connection, and other resources.. You can easily connect devices that have a wireless adapter ter to the W7x to create a secure, high-speed link betweeen your computers, PDAs, and other electronics; And with the W7x being able to broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals simultaneously, 5GHz capable wirelless devices are now free to choose the best signal witth the least noise and interference, improving the overall stability, reliability and performance of the wireless network. Each band (either 2.4GHz or 5GHz) of the W7x can operate in any one of three modes: • Access Point Mode: This is the typical configuration for most Wi-Fi networks. In this mode, the W7x broadcasts two Wi-Fi signaals (2.4 GHz and 5GHz) that clients can associate with, as shown in the figure below. Wireless Access Point Mode 2.4GHz Signal 5GHz Signal W7 Touch Panel Laptop 2.4GHz Signal 5GHz Signal Tablet Laptop Phone • Client Bridge Mode: In this is mode, you can connect one W7x to a client by its Eth hernet port, as shown below. In Client Bridge Mode, Mo the W7x can receive a wireless signal from an Access Acc Point and send the W7x User Manual signal through its Ethernet port to a client. This mode is used when you need to have network connectivity to hard wired device(s) but are unable to run cable to them. • Repeater Mode: In this mode, the W7x will receive a wireless signal from another AP and then repeat it. This mode is useful in a situation where you need to extend the wireless coverage but are unable to run cable to the W7x from the network. NOTE: Setting the W7x in repeater mode will sacrifice half of the bandwidth available from the primary access point for devices wirelessly connected to the repeater. Repeater Mode W7 Any WAP Laptop Ethernet Cable Because the functionality of the W7x changes depending on its operating mode, this manual offers both general and mode-specific content. W7x User Manual P A CK AG E CO N TEN T S • Package contents depend on your W7x model. Please refer to the installation manual of your product. S YS T EM R EQ UI REM EN TS The minimum system requirements for the W7x are: • PC-compatible computer with an Ethernet interface • Operating system that supports an HTTP Web browser N E T W O R K CO N FI G U R AT I O N To help you understand how the W7x works with other LAN products to create a wireless network, we will describe several possible wireless network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as: • • An ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) network for departmental or a small office/home office (SOHO) network Infrastructure for enterprise LANs AD - H O C ( P E E R - TO - P E E R M O D E ) This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer and only has access to the resources of the other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts a network in ad-hoc mode. 10 W7x User Manual IN FR A S TRUCTU R E MO D E In this mode, an Access Point such as the W7x handles all wireless communication between two computers. It doesn’t matter if the W7x is stand-alone, or wired to an Ethernet network. In stand-alone mode, the W7x can extend the range of your wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, increasing the connection distance between wireless stations. The figure below shows a network configured in infrastructure mode. W7x H ARD W AR E IN ST ALL ATI O N The diagrams below depict the configuration using a PoE injector or a PoE Switch to power the W7x. 11 W7x User Manual Power using PoE Injector W7 Switch PoE Injector Power & Ethernet Ethernet Power using PoE Switch Switch W7 Ethernet The W7x can be configured in Client Bridge, Repeater, or Access Point mode.

If you aren’t sure which type(s) of clients will access the wireless networks, it’s recommended to choose B/G/N Mixed (on the 2.4GHz) or A/N Mixed (on the 5GHz) for best performance. NOTE: When set to a mixed mode ALL devices connected to the wireless will use the mode that is compatible for ALL devices. Example – If you have the 2.4GHz Wireless set to B/G/N Mixed and a devices connects using G, all devices will be connected at G speed. Channel Mode: By default, the “Channel Mode” is set to 20/40MHZ (when using N). Selecting the 40MHz channel mode will allow for a greater overall throughput of data but it will also increase the size of the channel. NOTE: When using 20MHz channel width on the 2.4GHz radio, channel 6 would bleed into channels 4, 5, 7 and 8 giving you three non-overlapping channels (1, 6 and 11). When using 40MHz channel width on the 2.4GHz radio, channel 6 would bleed into channels 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 giving you only one channel without overlap. Channel: In the default setting (Auto), the W7x automatically associates to the channel with best performance for the wireless network. To select a channel manually, uncheck the “Auto” box and select a channel from the drop-down list. Detect Best Channel: Click “Scan” to perform an automatic site survey. A new window will open and display the site survey utility. The W7x will scan the frequency for devices currently broadcasting their SSID, and then will display them in the table.

WEP In the SSID Profile page, under Wireless Security, choose a wireless security protocol Type from the dropdown list. For example, if your wireless network uses WEP encryption, choose WEP from the drop-down list. (WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a protocol that offers the same level of security for wireless networks as for wired networks.) 28 W7x User M anual • Auth Type: In the drop-down list, choose an authentication method. The options are Open System or Shared Key. o If you choose Open System, any client will be able to authenticate, as long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies you have set. In an open system, authentication packets are sent without encryption. o If you choose Shared Key, the W7x sends a challenge text string (unencrypted) to devices that try to communicate with the access point. The device that requests authentication encrypts the challenge text and returns it to the access point. If the challenge text is correctly encrypted, the access point authenticates the requesting device. If you don’t know which authentication type will be used, it’s recommended to select Auto. • • • • • Input Type: Select Hex or ASCII. Key Length: Choose a key length. 64-bit hex keys require 10 characters, and 128-bit keys require 26 characters. (A hexadecimal key is in the format of a number between 0 through 9, and a letter between A and F.) Default Key: You can specify 1-4 keys for up to four networks.
